Low Skew CMOS PLL Clock Drivers, 3-State
55, 70, 100, 133, and 160 MHz Versions
MC88915T
The MC88915T Clock Driver utilizes phase-locked loop (PLL) technology to
lock its low skew outputs frequencies and phase onto an input reference clock. It
is designed to provide clock distribution for high performance PCs and
workstations. For a 3.3 V version, see the MC88LV915T data sheet.
The PLL allows the high current, low skew outputs to lock onto a single clock
input and distribute it to multiple components on a board. The PLL also allows
the MC88915T to multiply a low frequency input clock and distribute it locally at
a higher (2X) system frequency. Multiple 88915s can lock onto a single reference
clock, ideal for applications when a central system clock must be distributed
synchronously to multiple boards (see
Figure 9).
Five “Q” outputs (Q0–Q4) are provided with less than 500 ps skew between
their rising edges. The Q5 output is inverted (180° phase shift) from the “Q”
outputs. The 2X_Q output runs at twice the “Q” output frequency, while the
Q/2 runs at 1/2 the “Q” frequency.
LOW SKEW CMOS
The VCO is designed to run optimally between 20 MHz and the 2X_Q f
max
PLL CLOCK DRIVER
specification. The wiring diagrams in
Figure 7
detail the different feedback
configurations, creating specific input/output frequency relationships. Possible
frequency ratios of the “Q” outputs to the SYNC input are 2:1, 1:1, and 1:2.
The FREQ_SEL pin provides one bit programmable divide-by in the feedback
path of the PLL. It selects between divide-by-1 and divide-by-2 of the VCO before
its signal reaches the internal clock distribution section of the chip (see
2
). In most
applications FREQ_SEL should be held high (÷1). If a low frequency reference
FN SUFFIX
clock input is used, holding FREQ_SEL low (÷2) allows the VCO to run in its
28-LEAD PLCC PACKAGE
optimal range (>20 MHz and >40 MHz for the TFN133 version).
CASE 766-02
In normal phase-locked operation the PLL_EN pin is held high. Pulling the
PLL_EN pin low disables the VCO and puts the 88915 in a static “test mode.” In
this mode, there is no frequency limitation on the input clock, necessary for a low
frequency board test environment. The second SYNC input can be used as a test
clock input to further simplify board-level testing (see
APPLICATIONS
INFORMATION FOR ALL VERSIONS on page 12).
EI SUFFIX
Pulling the OE/RST pin low puts the clock outputs 2X_Q, Q0–Q4, Q5, and Q/

2 into a high impedance state (3-state). After the
CASE 766-02
OE/RST pin goes back high Q0–Q4, Q5, and Q/2 will be reset in the low state,
with 2X_Q being the inverse of the selected SYNC input. Assuming PLL_EN is
low, the outputs will remain reset until the 88915 sees a SYNC input pulse.
A lock indicator output (LOCK) will go high when the loop is in steady-state phase and frequency lock. The LOCK output will
go low if phase-lock is lost, or when the PLL_EN pin is low. The LOCK output will go high no later than 10 ms after the 88915
sees a SYNC signal and full 5.0 V V

Five outputs (Q0–Q4) with output-output skew < 500 ps, each being phase and frequency locked to the SYNC input
The phase variation from part-to-part between the SYNC and FEEDBACK inputs is less than 550 ps (derived from the t
PD
specification, defining the part-to-part skew).
Input/output phase-locked frequency ratios of 1:2, 1:1, and 2:1 are available
Input frequency range from 5 MHz – 2X_Q f

Additional outputs available at 2X and +2 the system “Q” frequency. Also, a Q (180° phase shift) output available
All outputs have ±36 mA drive (equal high and low) at CMOS levels, and can drive either CMOS or TTL inputs. All inputs are

All outputs can go into high impedance (3-state) for board test purposes.
Lock indicator (LOCK) accuracy indicates a phase-locked state.
